Hi guys,
I have dlink dir 300 as wifi router in my house, and i have 6 portable devices and a laptop that require access to wifi.
From past few days, internet disconnects on these devices if a no. Of them are accessing wifi and the wifi light on dlink router stops blinking(that means wifi has stopped). This thing always happens when laptop is connected to wifi.
Sometimes restarting modem and dlink router fixes it, but then also laptop is not able to access wifi and displays limited connectivity for my wifi access point.
All this has no effect on desktop internet as that is connected via LAN wire.
So please tell guys, what could be the problem.
Thanks

Thats an old G router, Get a N router. If you have a budget I can sujest somthing. You could try flashing with DD-WRT but really with what your trying to do buying a new router would be less frustrating

Really the new routers are so much nicer. You will wonder why you waited

Indeed. Even my fairly lowly Netgear WNR3500L (v2) is so much nicer than the old G-stuff I had before. It even has a USB port so it can double as a simple NAS or printer server, and everything just works. And it was like €50 or so.

Ok, then recommend me some routers.
Please recommend some gaming level routers, if there is such thing.
Plus i would like to extend my range using this router and connect my TV for dlna stuff, so guide me through that too.

My Amped Wireless R20000G does great for gaming... it has hardcore coverage and doesn't afraid of anything.

Dual Band

Wireless N 300+300 MIMO

600mW amplification

5dBi high gain antennas (2)

4 guest networks per band with independent speed, security and isolation settings

Full QoS controls per mac or IP address

DDoS protection

SPI firewall

DDNS

VLANs

Access scheduling

Website blocking

MAC/IP filtering

Port forwarding

USB storage (local and internet)

10/100/1000 ports (4)

It also has very awesome coverage. I can stream 1080p HD videos 200 some feet away with no buffering at all from the router thru 5 thick walls and a fat cat and down the road. I can browse the net at decent speeds 500 some feet away.

Played tons of games on xbox live with 2 consoles and hosting a minecraft server that had 8 players on it all the time, as well as streaming HD movies on 1 android phone and 1 nexus 7 tablet and one wireless desktop.

ok after seeing the prices and reviewing my budget , i cant spend that much right now.
all i can spend in $40.
Sorry guys to have wasted your time on high end routers , now can you recommend some low end ones?

I think I payed around that for my router, brand new. Supports DD-WRT.

I might go for netgear.
Now can you please tell me how to increase the range of signal if I use my existing router also with the one i get?

It seems you can flash the 300 with DD-WRT, which has a repeater function. There's a general guide here and a thread about it here. I have no idea how well it works though. Hope someone else can provide more info.
